D7 Representatives
What's good OYFA,
Remember to mark your calendars for Hoo Am I! Hoo Am I? is a panel for A/APA members of our community to speak about their experiences on Grounds with regards to racism/micro-aggression, under-representation of A/APA community in areas outside of cultural organizations, and self-segregation of A/APA community from the rest of the university community. It will be held on September 30th, from 7-8.30pm.
We'll see y'all bigs/littles at Family Week next week!
Much mahal,
-D7 reps, Patricia (pgg3zg) and Jean (jms2wz)

Trivia
So, just as always, the first person to respond correctly to the following questions will be featured as next week's Featured OYFAN. However, anyone else who answers correctly will be entered into a raffle to win some awesome OYFA merch at the next General Meeting! You can find the answers in this WIO as well as OYFA's site.
- I know I'm going to see ALL OF YOU (idc what year you are) at the first Culture Fest practice, so just to be sure, when and where will that be?
- Which Big/Little week activity are you looking forward to the most? (You can't get this wrong, I just want to know!)

Featured OYFAN
Name: Daniel Mares
Graduation Year: 2017
Major: Mechanical Engineering
What do you plan to do post-grad?
After I graduate I'll most likely just start working. If the stars align I'll hopefully end up working for BMW or Volkswagen designing cars, or maybe working for NASA. If the stars DON'T align then I'll take whatever job I can get and I'll spend my spare time building a functional Iron-Man suit.
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life I'd probably go crazy somewhere between the 100th and 627th play, but I'd probably pick this song called Bolero. It's a classical song that lasts like 15 minutes and it's pretty good for studying, falling asleep, or getting hype (jk only the first two).
Favorite OYFA Memory
I remember during my first year hurricane Sandy was messing up the east coast. It hit Charlottesville right after Culturefest, and we ended up having a 4-day weekend because of the rain. Those four days were spent at my family head's (Allan Bagsic) apartment just hanging around and getting closer with a lot of OYFANs who also took refuge in his apartment, and it was honestly my favorite time... so far

That's all for this time. Thanks for making it all the way to the end. And keep answering the Trivia questions! OYFA Merch is hot. You know you want some.
I hope you all have a good week!
I love you all,
Jerome
